EDIT: That doc is just draft -- so we need to compare that versus the final rosters on Yahoo.

Also, I'm confused on your rookie clarification above: Do I get to keep 6 Active players, plus 1 or 2 rookies on my active roster under (or over) the 65 game limit, plus my rookies who have not played an NHL game yet? (so confused)

Yeah, let's see if we can find the Yahoo! page.

You can keep any six players on your final game active roster.

You can keep 1 or 2 players that you drafted who fell met the rookie requirements, but, during the course of the season, now exceed those and would be drafted as non-rookies this year.

In other words, you'll go into Round 1 of the draft with 7 or 8 players already.

You automatically keep your rookies that you drafted last year if they still meet the rookie requirements; that is, they are protected from getting picked up off the waiver wire and can freely be added and dropped by you during the season.

Looks like the league page is down. As a result, we'll have to do a little honor system here. Not many keeper eligible players were added and dropped, however. I know I dropped Mason and Krafster picked him up, but I think the Google Doc is sufficient for the time being.

By the way, you can access your end-of-year roster by going into your fantasy profile. The only thing not on there will be your rookies who were not on your active roster, but, those were not subject to change after the start of the year, so, they will be the same as the google doc.

Also, we are going up to 8 keepers after this season, correct? And then stopping at 10 after the following season?

I guess for Doughty I am probably looking for a couple different types of trades:

Doughty for first rounder +(I am not sure what all the + entails right now, could be as minor as a favorable swap of rookies or something - I have to look back over the league, I am just refocusing on the rosters, cats, etc.)orDoughty + Halak/Mason/Price for an upgrade in goal and possibly some other more minor pieces (picks) to even things out depending on the goalie

I see a couple things that could work with you, beerman. Let me spend some more time looking stuff over and see what kind of other bites I get. I have to make sure to check the fantrax baseball thread for an offer from ID40

Okay, so, it was definitely 65 games for rookies. I pulled this from the old thread. Keepers are going 6, 8, 10.

Also, thanks to all that expressed interest in the league, but I unfortunately had to select 12. I more or less selected the first 12 that responded, but I made a 1k post requirement (arbitrary) and I think I gave special treatment to one person that PMed me. Here are the participants:

As far as rookies go, I think we'll have a supplemental rookie draft. This stops people from stock piling in the general draft. However, each team is allowed to select two prospects in the general draft (Hockey Futures Def: Under 26 less than 65 GP, <10 starts for a goalie). Each team can have 4 rookies, so you'll have up to 4 picks in the rookie draft, and as few as 2. Rookies can be called up and sent down via the Waiver Wire freely during the season. In other words, you cannot pick up someone else's rookies. After the season, each playoff team can keep one of their rookies that has lost rookie eligibility (i.e. Tavares) and non-playoff teams can keep two. Rookies that are still rookies can be kept indefinitely on each teams roster. If you draft a rookie in the regular draft please indicate that you are doing so. Also, the rookie draft will go in reverse order of the general draft.

Keepers:After the first year: 6Second Year: 8Third Year and on: 10

Draft:Random order, I'll post a screen shot. Snake draft as well. Place in the regular season will determine draft order of the next season (we may have some sort of lottery as well). Round in the playoff in which you are eliminated determines the order for playoff teams, but regular season record is the tie breaker (not the consolation games). All future picks are tradeable, but keeper slots are not.

I don't remember if we decided on any sort of lottery, but, I have a program one guy in my other league wrote for a bottom 4 fantasy pick lottery. Let me know if that needs run. I don't remember deciding on a lotto, so, I imagine that we'll just go by final standings.

Is keeping rookies who lost eligiblity included in the 6, I assume? Or can you keep 6 plus, the 1 or 2 rookies who lost eligibility?
